Dona Nobis Pacem

I was about the age of my grandsons when I first started thinking about Peace. I grew up in the days of the cold war, when bomb shelters were discussed as a reasonable additions to the back yard. A time when the nuclear missiles lighting up the sky was a very real possibility.

As much as I dreamed and wished for world Peace, we all know it didn't happen. There is a formula for Peace. It lies within each of us. All we have to do search it out and bring it to light.

I do remember the craziness in the 50's and it does seem like nothing has changed... but... I think that, now, we think about peace more and some folks actually honor it in their own way."We can do no great things .. only small things with great love."~Mother Teresa~

Hi Jo. So glad to see you posting. Yes, the "cold" war. That was the period of time that I served in our Military. It seemed all countries were so busy observing what other countries were doing then. And then the Cuban situation. I was there then also - twice. I can't help but wonder 'where does one go to find a peaceful place to live', and what will my descendants have to face.

Jo, I no longer have blog. I decided that since I wasn't posting anymore, that I might as well delete it. However, Google has continued to allow me access to all my friends blogs (such as yours) and let me comment.
